General Della Rovere (1959) 90% “Although the film's second half tends to drift toward the stagy and sermonic, Bardone's transformation from a petty chameleon-charlatan to the moral hero and man of conscience is moving and potent, in no small way thanks to De Sica's carefully modulated p” – Film.com May 20, 2009 Full Review Danton (1982) 85% “...uncompromising and impassioned. [Depardieu's] throat-scraping, rage-against-the-machine speech in court -- "the Revolution is devouring its children!" -- makes Jimmy Stewart's in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington look like a monk's benediction.” – Film.com May 20, 2009 Full Review The Odd Couple (1968) 97% “...a durable classic, the sort of comedy that doesn't try to yank laughs by cramming its fist down our throats.” – Film.com Mar 18, 2009 Full Review Frozen River (2008) 88% “Frozen River let me forget I was watching a movie, something that didn't happen often in 2008.” – Film.com Feb 10, 2009 Full Review Funny Face (1957) 87% “...can clunk like a tin can in the dryer. But hey, we're talking Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire, so that's some mighty elegant slack we're willing to cut here.” – Film.com Feb 2, 2009 Full Review Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) 88% “...the final scene, a tender sequence that you can sop up with a sponge, but if you aren't moved by it you probably stick kittens with pins.” – Film.com Feb 2, 2009 Full Review Traffic (1971) 95% “...in the breezy vapor that amounts to the movie's plot, it's not the destination that counts, but the leisurely, amiably aimless travel you take getting there.” – Film.com Feb 2, 2009 Full Review The Fall (2006) 64% “...a movie that not only expected me to pay attention, it assumed that I could.” – Film.com Feb 2, 2009 Full Review Sex and the City (2008) 50% “...'Yes,' she said. 'It's Star Trek for women.'...” – Film.com Feb 2, 2009 Full Review Snow Angels (2007) 68% “So when the film's moment of horror arrives, it's not with suspense but instead the sort of dully anticipatory inevitability that drains as much energy from the story as from the audience.” – Film.com Feb 2, 2009 Full Review Kabluey (2007) 83% “...a low-key comedy perfectly tuned for our times.” – Film.com Feb 2, 2009 Full Review The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1989) 90% “...probably the purest expression of Gilliam's Rococo imagination...” – Film.com Apr 10, 2008 Full Review My Kid Could Paint That (2007) 94% “New York Times senior art critic Michael Kimmelman offers sharp insights when he mentions how Marla's painting reflects not just 'innocence' and what our psyches project into them, but also 'the cynicism of the art world.'” – Film.com Mar 11, 2008 Full Review Lillie (1979) “Annis inhabits Lillie with subtlety and in three dimensions, giving us plenty of room to admire the classy crumpet's self-possession and stick-to-it-iveness in a society that valued conformity and propriety above all else.” – Film.com Mar 4, 2008 Full Review City Lights (1931) 95% “That final scene. Last week, CNN asked -- in "The Screening Room's Top 10 Romantic Moments" -- whether this was the most touching film moment of all time. Could be. Either way, if it doesn't move you, you're beyond human reach.” – Film.com Mar 4, 2008 Full Review Singin' in the Rain (1952) 100% “...this one's the Taj Mahal, Armstrong's footprint on the moon, the 2001 Arizona-New York World Series, the Clash's London Calling, and the perfect foamy head on an expertly poured Guinness.” – Film.com Mar 4, 2008 Full Review Shortbus (2006) 69% “Shortbus is not, above all, 'dirty.' What it is, in fact, is a nice movie, one of the nicest to come down the pike since March of the Penguins.” – Film.com Mar 4, 2008 Full Review The Philadelphia Story (1940) 100% “Every time Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart connect in a scene, we hear the happy ding! of quality champagne crystal.” – Film.com Mar 4, 2008 Full Review Death at a Funeral (2007) 62% “It's no classic, but it did prompt me to watch those great old Ealing Alec Guinness comedies again.” – Film.com Mar 4, 2008 Full Review Beatles - Ed Sullivan Presents the Beatles: 4 Complete Shows (1964) “Beatles aficionados should leap on these raw performances -- shot live with no studio post-production gloss, only the boys in their rare natural state -- as primary documents from the pre-Revolver, pre-Sgt. Pepper years....” – Film.com Feb 9, 2008 Full Review Best in Show (2000) 93% “...it's always a pleasure to watch this ensemble of gifted talents do what they do best -- be spontaneous and funny and surprising. What we get is a master-class demonstration of the distinction between comic actors and comedians who try to act.” – Film.com Feb 8, 2008 Full Review 2 Days in Paris (2007) 87% “...an impressive, funny urban comedy of manners from a suitably distinctive voice that I hope we'll hear again soon.” – Film.com Feb 5, 2008 Full Review Petulia (1968) 85% “...an anti-The Graduate ... an essential film from and about America in the dying days of the '60s, yet the modernism of its style and ambitions makes Petulia impressively ahead of that time.” – Film.com Jan 25, 2008 Full Review The President's Analyst (1967) 77% “If Philip K. Dick had worked for Mad magazine, he might have come up with The President's Analyst.” – Film.com Jan 18, 2008 Full Review Saving Sarah Cain (2007) “...will probably find a welcome reception among the nominal "family values" audience, but they deserve "nice" and "decent" movies that offer more engaging and challenging fare than this...” – Film.com Jan 15, 2008 Full Review
